Official Open-Source IPhone Unlock GUI Arrives

Anyone frustrated by the command-line iPhone unlocking process now has reason to celebrate.

The iPhone Dev Team has released anySIM, a simple-to-use GUI package for unlocking your iPhone. Just install it as a PXL package and you can free up the device to be used by any GSM carrier with one click. The first version was released on Friday night, and an update to fix a few bugs was pushed out over the weekend (We know we're a bit late reporting this one, but we've been busy snorkeling for diamonds up in wine country and we'd be remiss if we didn't bring you the news).

You can find several links to download the open-source app on the iPhone Dev Wiki. Erica Sadun, the TUAW writer and coder who participated in the creation of the GUI, noted that the package should also show up in the Installer.app menu soon -- I just refreshed and I didn't see it, but hold out hope.

Erica worked with a small team to push this out in under a week. It's a small app, but its creation was no small task -- kudos to all who contributed.
